Background
----------
Andres writes:
"There are numerous things I want to do for Debian; first and
foremost, maintaining my packages to the best of my abilities. I'd
also like to help w/ the structure of Debian (Enterprise Debian and
improving testing are two things that I'm itching to do; free time
permitting). And, of course, I'm always finding other packages are
lacking, and I end up helping out with those. This, and the previous
paragraph cover points #2 and 4 of the Social Contract; improving
packages and usability for users, and contributing back to the (free
software) community.
I volunteer my time doing Debian related stuff because I used Debian,
both at home and at work. The more Debian improves, the less
stressful my life becomes."
Philosophy and Procedures
-------------------------
Andres has a good understanding of Debians Philosophy and
Procedures. He answered all my Questions about Social Contract,
DFSG, BTS, etc. without problems and has a decent understanding of
software license issues.
Tasks and Skills
----------------
Andres answered my T&S questions and solved practical exercises
(fixing RC bug, writing a real manpage, fixing a hypothetical
package) in a good way.
He has done Debian-related work already since 2002 and seems to have
much experience by now. He maintains the following packages, which
were sponsored mainly by Aaron Lehman <aaronl@debian.org>: devmapper,
firedns, firestring, keepalived, libapache2-mod-perl2, lvm2,
messagewall, and par2cmdline.
Recommendation
--------------
I recommend to accept him as a Debian Developer.
